Hi Michael, Thanks a lot to make this change still in Xerces 2.8.1. I've retested today with the new version and I now don't see the (big) leaks anymore.
In fact with Jprofiler I do still see some small leak on the LSParser.parse (17KB for 476 parse operations) but that's not due to my re-use of the parser instances via a pool anymore (as I see the same results if create a new parser locally to my method each time). If you want I can digg some more into this and put my findings in a JIRA fiche.

The Xerces implementation of LSParser has a reset() method but it isn't part of the DOM interface. You won't need to call that though. I just modified Xerces' LSParser (and DocumentBuilder) so that they drop their internal references to the DOM they just built. This will make it into Xerces 2.8.1 which should be available some time tonight. > kind regards, > Wim Bervoets Thanks.
